12:03 am

RoundBarn

if any of you are still around, who were talking of suicide just before the flip--my daughter committed suicide. She was not angry, she was in despair. She was also mentally ill or she would never have inflicted her death on those who loved her, and there were, and are, many. Tou can call it selfish for the self takes over, but it is a self that with my daughter was always loving and thoughtful. SHE WAS ILL. I am not angry at her, Only infinitely sad and miss her desperately.

12:03 am

Book Doctor Gwen

lickety split is right!

1:26 am

grannyrose

she didn't want to go into the high care facility. she said to me, rose, they are all silly as wheels in there. well, she got her way, as usual

1:26 am

gapeach

Oh, Rose, I am so very sorry to hear that. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

1:26 am

grannyrose

thank-you all. it's been a tough afternoon.

1:27 am

rururocks

you had a feeling yesterday I think yes?

1:28 am

grannyrose

her nurse from this morning said right from the start of her shift, mum kept saying,' i can't do this any more' apparently she said it about 10 times.

1:28 am

grannyrose

yes, ruru. i think i knew yesterday, she was, well, different.

1:29 am

rururocks

I read that in your comments.. something was up

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

I have heard similar comments before... about being different, giving up...

1:30 am

rururocks

How old was she.. if you don't mind me asking?

1:30 am

ChrissieDee

((((Rose)))) so sorry for your loss

1:30 am

puglet

She must of been tired of fighting Rose and wanted to go home---But I know its hard on you and your family.I wrap you and yours in prayers

1:30 am

grannyrose

i have areally good weep, still more to come, i'm afraid. of course, i have to cancel my surgery.

1:31 am

puglet

Morning Chrisse

1:31 am

flosey

just back, sorry to hear Rose - seems she was ready, just not easy for you

1:31 am

grannyrose

ruru, she was 87, would have been 88 next february

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry, rose. Sorry you have so much to reschedule, too.

1:33 am

grannyrose

ah, well, such is life...but an anaesthetist wouldn't touch me until after the funeral. we know a patient's emotional state has a big impact on their recovery time.

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

so very true

1:37 am

rururocks

87 is a nice life.

1:38 am

rururocks

I'd want to go out the way I want too. I understand that

1:39 am

joso

oh, rose, I am so sorry

1:40 am

grannyrose

joso, no squirrel this time. when we were chatting earlier, that is when i got the phone call from the hospital to get there as quick as i could.

1:40 am

joso

did you get there in time to say goodby?

1:41 am

puglet

Morning Joso

1:41 am

joso

hi pug

1:41 am

grannyrose

no, mate. i think she had already passed when they called me, but they told me she was unconscious, as a safety measure i guess.

1:44 am

joso

I ache for you, even when age and illness makes it no great surprise, it is a special ache when a parent dies.

1:45 am

grannyrose

thanx jos

1:45 am

grannyrose

sorry...joso

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

Totally agree, joso, well, said.

1:47 am

joso

oh, well now I am going to get all offended and walk off in a huff, or you can call me wlkejrpwqeicvnjewoicvhj if you like

1:47 am

grannyrose

you mean mr alphabet....

1:47 am

flosey

hey there JoSo - no huffs now

1:48 am

joso

what a misnomer, with my spelling that title is in the running for worst title of the year.

1:50 am

joso

so what was your mom like rose, was she a live wire like you?

1:52 am

grannyrose

joso, she brought up by queen victorian standards. she had very set ways, and tried all her life to emulate people whom she thought were better than her. she had polio as a child, and walked with a slight limp. she was very self-effacing, and retiring.

1:53 am

joso

suffer life's difficulties calmly and with dignity?

1:55 am

grannyrose

something like that. she was always putting herself down. i don't think she ever recovered after my dad died, 11 years ago.

1:55 am

dizgrannie

{{HUGGLES}} Rose xoxo

1:55 am

grannyrose

thanx diz

1:56 am

joso

was she proud of her kids, enjoy her grandkids?

1:57 am

dizgrannie

my Mum will be 87 next March, after recuperating from a broken hip nearly 3 yrs ago, she is going great, but sometimes I worry 'bout things she should remember

1:58 am

grannyrose

she was proud of her sons, i was always a second-rate person to her. i don't have a formal university degree like them. regardless that my work is now the equivalent of a degree. she was besotted with her grandchildren, all of, them, and of course her great-grandchildren.

1:59 am

joso

was she there when you gave birth?

2:00 am

grannyrose

no way, joso....that was something she would never talk about. that was all too private.

2:00 am

joso

a Victorian attitude toward women and birth

2:00 am

grannyrose

absolutely

2:01 am

joso

in her way, on you and your brother's side?

2:02 am

joso

was she any good at spoiling the grandkids and greatgrandkids

2:03 am

gapeach

Need tea, brb.

2:03 am

grannyrose

she was all for the brothers, as i said, i was second rate to her. i never did do anything that she approved of me doing. it's going to be hard for me to come to te4s with the fact i no longer have to justify me or my actions.

2:07 am

joso

yea, arguing with someone who won't fight back is not very satiating, even when they have a good excuse like death. like beating up a feather pillow instead of pummeling a boxing bag.

2:07 am

dizgrannie

Rose, one should never have to justify ones actions....go forth with no guilt. I am the youngest of 4 girls, the only one with disABILITIES and medical probs, and the was the most rebellious....but now in later yrs I am the only one in constant contact with Mum.

2:08 am

grannyrose

thanx, diz....maybe i could use don instead of a punching bag

2:09 am

dizgrannie

poor Don...LOL.....>>>>note to Don, get the hell outa there. LOL

2:09 am

puglet

My mom just turned 50 when she passed and I felt I let her down and I wrote a letter to her and put it in the casket with her. And it kind of helped me.

2:10 am

joso

I bet don is being the best he can for you, give the poor boy a break.

2:11 am

jbp

hi all

2:11 am

flosey

indeed joso, Don will be an enormous strength for you now

2:11 am

joso

not a bad idea pug

2:11 am

dizgrannie

Pugs, nobody should feel guilty of anothers innocent passing, but writing the letter...sounds like it helped you. xoxo

2:11 am

puglet

Hi jbp--hope you are feeling better

2:11 am

grannyrose

he is....and pugs, that sounds like a good idea. i think i will do that.

2:12 am

jbp

day three of the nasal wretchedness... it's starting to move into my chest... but thanks for asking, Pugs.

2:12 am

flosey

good idea rose, get rid of any 'guilt

2:12 am

puglet

It did help me

2:12 am

flosey

she may have made you feel

2:12 am

grannyrose

poor jbp. {{hugs}} hun

2:13 am

rururocks

Don't you have to be Jewish to feel guilty?

2:13 am

jbp

no worries. it's just like my favorite musical... the Sound of Mucus.

2:13 am

jbp

heh

2:14 am

jbp

Jewish or Catholic

2:14 am

flosey

didn't mean to break that message, hit enter by mistake

2:15 am

rururocks

...One phlegm over the rainbow. ..

2:15 am

dizgrannie

when my grandson passed just after birth, the funeral director made sure he included Timothy's elder sister and brother (4 and 2 respectively at the time) in the service...4 yr old g/dtr loved the fact that she could place her own candle on her little brothers coffin and say goodbye

2:15 am

dizgrannie

sorry just had to say that.

2:17 am

gapeach

Tea in hand.....I'm back

2:17 am

jbp

wow, there is a real juxtaposition of topics. Grannie, please know, I wasn't trying to cough on you.

2:19 am

rururocks

That is really sad to read did

2:19 am

rururocks

Diz...

2:19 am

puglet

Diz, no need in being sorry for sharing.

2:20 am

rururocks

Sorry jb..I was just joking on the sound of mucus

2:21 am

puglet

Peach are you drinking some special tea?

2:21 am

jbp

no I got it. kind of like one phlem over the cukoos nest

2:21 am

gapeach

Bigelo Earl Grey...decaf.

2:22 am

dizgrannie

It was best for the poor little bugga, he would not have had any quality of life - kidney machine from day one. Best thing about it all that then 4yr old g/dtr told me she had visited Timothy, but she didn't like it there so the Angels bought her back down.

2:22 am

gapeach

Pug, did you get any damage from the tornados?

2:22 am

jbp

ooh, can I have some, Peach? perhaps with some hooch in it?

2:22 am

puglet

I bet Ru knows all about the cukoo's nest too

2:23 am

gapeach

Offers jbp, hot tea, sans hooch.

2:23 am

jbp

hey, thanks, Peach!

2:23 am

gapeach

yvw

2:23 am

puglet

No Peach, we were real lucky--they touch down above us and below us--did hear one way overhead

2:23 am

rururocks

Ah pugs. ..I am not crazy...I am just goofy

2:24 am

flosey

may I be a nuisance and ask for a clue please? need re7

2:24 am

jbp

Grannie, that is really lovely.

2:24 am

gapeach

That is wonderful.....saw some damage on TV and it was horrible.

2:25 am

rururocks

Re ..plus sounds like a cows teats

2:25 am

jbp

hi, flosey!

2:25 am

jbp

if I had it, I would...

2:25 am

grannyrose

reutter

2:25 am

puglet

alot of homes damaged but no lives lost in our state

2:25 am

grannyrose

2:25 am

2:25 am

rururocks

3:12 am

Lizlin

Hi again - back for a little while before dinner. Just met our friends' new dog. Very cute!

3:12 am

puglet

3:13 am

Lizlin

A white German Shepherd. 10 weeks old.

3:13 am

sprite

looks like I'll be spared the worst, pug, cold developing but no fever and less pain in joints and muscles today. Less tired too :)

3:13 am

puglet

ahhh---thats a nice breed

3:13 am

sprite

oh wow, sounds sweet, Liz.

3:13 am

Lizlin

Hi Sprite. Sorry you're not feeling too well. Hugs and good wishes.

3:14 am

Lizlin

So soft and fluffy - but with huge paws!!!!

3:14 am

sprite

thanks Liz, nothing to worry about, looks like just a cold :)

3:14 am

puglet

where did you get that cold germ at? Was someone sick at your group

3:14 am

sprite

the paws will tell. He will be huge.

3:14 am

Lizlin

Still unpleasant!

3:14 am

sprite

probably at home, pug. Tim has a cold and Rob had one too.

3:15 am

Lizlin

Yes, I think he will. Called him Neo - after the Matrix character!

3:15 am

sprite

oh, good name.

3:15 am

puglet

jbp has a nasty cold too and seems like someone else has one too but cant remember who

3:15 am

Lizlin

Good movie too!

3:16 am

stupid viruses. Always picking on us poor humans.

3:16 am

puglet

Oh Sprite hope it passes quickly--you guys had those germs last month

3:16 am

Lizlin

3:16 am

o-o

resistentialism again

3:17 am

sprite

wish I could resist those viruses off our planet, grin

3:17 am

puglet

OO, have you ever read AF's story?

3:18 am

o-o

the population is ever increasing ... globalization brings germs here from all over ... our immune systems get no respite

3:19 am

sprite

too true, o-o. If this keeps up, we will have more antibodies in our blood than normal cells.

3:20 am

o-o

I have read a few articles, putlet. Anne speaks like a feminist ... is ambitious ... a remarkable person

3:22 am

puglet

with traveling so much easier germs are wider spread

3:23 am

puglet

thank God they cant travel through the wires yet-lol

3:23 am

sprite

breaking news one day: computer viruses can infect human bodies. ;)

3:24 am

puglet

I can see them being an emotional stress for sure

3:24 am

Lizlin

With bionic limbs - possibly not so far away!

3:25 am

sprite

indeed, Liz

3:25 am

Lizlin

Scary thought - especially if you have a bionic limb.

3:26 am

puglet

Sprite, Ruby needs prayers too---she wrote me yesterday and things are not going very well for her

3:26 am

sprite

guess it would be wise to never connect it through the internet, only through a stand-alone.

3:26 am

sprite

ruby is always in my prayers, pug. Thanks. Will write her too.

3:27 am

Lizlin

Poor Ruby. I'll email her tomorrow.

3:27 am

o-o

when I was in college. I would make random calls and tell people the phone company was cleaning the lines ... then I asked them to put a bag over the phone to catch the stuff we blew out.

3:28 am

puglet

lol OO--naughty

3:28 am

sprite

lol o-o!

3:28 am

Lizlin

3:30 am

puglet

3:32 am

puglet

thats like a friend of ours sending his sister-in-law to the store to buy him some sky hooks to put up a tent--lol

3:32 am

Lizlin

lol

3:32 am

o-o

would call stores to ask if the store had Prince Albert in a can ... if so, would ask when they intended to release him.

3:33 am

puglet

3:37 am

sprite

3:38 am

Lizlin

3:39 am

Lizlin

3:39 am

puglet

3:39 am

sprite

halfway is very good

3:40 am

Lizlin

As long as you're content with however far you get, that's good!

3:40 am

sprite

yeah, kind of, Liz. Could be said of clothes that are no undies.

3:40 am

puglet

when I reach 100 in age by then I might be up to OO and Sprites level(MIGHT) lol

3:40 am

Lizlin

Lizlin

3:43 am

3:44 am

sprite

one April first, drG will post a 23 words grid and announce it as a 320 words one.

3:45 am

puglet

4:07 am

puglet

4:07 am

joso

4:08 am

puglet

they say that that movie EX was based on a true story

4:09 am

sprite

yes, about a boy, if I remember correctly

4:09 am

puglet

Iam not really into movies like Halloween and such--though I have seen some of them

4:10 am

puglet

I think you are right Sprite

4:11 am

joso

I'm with you pug, I like horror that builds slowly, but not the jump-out-at-you type

4:11 am

sprite

yep, a boy that is said to have tried playing with an ouija board.

4:11 am

Buttonman

thanks joso and sprite, I finally got the re8

4:12 am

sprite

puglet

I dont watch a whole lot of movies since I got a computer

4:14 am

And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

4:14 am

jwr

I thought I saw peyote in the grid. I reached for it, but it disappeared. Must have been hallucinating before the fact.

4:14 am

5:11 am

puglet

o-o

Never lose your curiosity

5:14 am

puglet

I find it funny that they have wi5 and di5 together

5:17 am

puglet

I will try not too---I wonder if I ask too many questions sometime though

5:18 am

puglet

I dont mean it to be nosey but just really wanting to know

5:23 am

o-o

Philalethia: The love of truth.

5:24 am

puglet

Iam going to look that up later

5:25 am

o-o

Truth is not an easy topic ... there are many truths. I am like Diogenes with the lantern looking for an honest man.

5:26 am

puglet

sometimes it surely isnt

5:26 am

puglet

sometimes the truth to ourselves is the hardest I think

5:27 am

puglet

rather I should say the truth to ourselves about ourselves

5:28 am

o-o

I can be very scary. I have been told I manifest to a degree at times a form of diabolepsy: a state in which a person believes he is possessed by a devil or has been endowed with supernatural powers.

5:29 am

puglet

I can understand that

5:30 am

o-o

All hogwash, of course, but a good way to be put away

5:31 am

puglet

I would think if we did something we knew was wrong but go ahead and do so, something has to drive us(like addictions such as my smoking)

5:32 am

o-o

Discipline erodes when despair encroaches.

5:34 am

ivesy3

the truth is we know the right thing to do , the hard part is doing it

5:34 am

puglet

my smoking helps me to cope with my life but it may be a cop out for me to continue

5:35 am

ivesy3

me to pug.. it is a stress reliiever and a crutch.

5:35 am

puglet

isnt that so true and morning Ivesy

5:35 am

ivesy3

and good morning. cold and very windy here.

5:35 am

puglet

and to tell the honest truth Iam afraid to try any more--sob

5:36 am

ivesy3

me too.. im worn out lol

5:36 am

puglet

rainy here or was--havent looked for awhile

5:38 am

puglet

Ivesy, Rose lost her mother yesterday

5:38 am

o-o

You are blest to know the truth ... at least your truth.

5:39 am

puglet

I guess so OO

5:39 am

ivesy3

oh no! was it unexpected... how is rose doing

5:40 am

ivesy3

i dont think i want to face the truth. always wonder what i could have done different so my son woudlnt have been an addict. dont think i will every get over that feeling

5:40 am

puglet

I think she knew a day ahead--she said her mother was not acting right

5:41 am

ivesy3

oh so very sorry .. poor rose. all she is going thru.

5:41 am

puglet

plus now that this has happen she has to cancell her surgery to handle this

5:42 am

puglet

Ivesy, I dont see how you can blame yourself on that

5:42 am

ivesy3

i know pug. but i just feel like i should have done things different. you know mb if i did this , didnt do this. mb spoiled him too much

5:44 am

puglet

yeah I hear ya, but I think you should release the self blame---some people's chemical make up makes them more aceptible to addiction of one kind or another

5:45 am

o-o

it was not your choice, ivesy ... the answer might be nothing ... no one has the power to control absolutely what others do ... even the incarcerated can choose the way they think of their circumstances.

5:46 am

puglet

He right Ivesy

5:47 am

puglet

no one but ourselves made us addicted to smoking but us and its the same with any other addictions--like food , drugs sex, etc

5:48 am

ivesy3

ty 0-0 i keep trying to tell my self that. i know it was his choice

5:48 am

puglet

do you have an addiction of any kind OO or are you blessed to not

5:49 am

ivesy3

and i am addicted to smoking..very hard to quit. so i cant even imagine being addicted to a drug

5:49 am

puglet

well smoking is a drug and plus Ivesy

5:50 am

ivesy3

true pug.. and so is this dam tim hortons coffee im addcited to lol

5:50 am

puglet

lol--me too--caf and nic

5:51 am

puglet

havent tried that exact brand of coffee though

5:51 am

ivesy3

yep.. i did get the e cigs... they are ok.. but.. im still smoking the real thing

5:52 am

puglet

and now I have added babble along with the nic and caf

5:52 am

o-o

I have quit drinking ... meds required it, and smoking after 31 years .... quitting smoking was brutal

5:52 am

puglet

wow--I bought me one too Ivesy one without nic--but havent tried it as of yet

5:53 am

puglet

oh wow OO--how wonderful for you! That is a biggie

5:54 am

ivesy3

wow o-o . that is great.... i must try harder. but now we can get them cheaper at the res.. $15 for little more than a carton..

5:54 am

puglet

both are, thought I cant speak for the drinking for myself

5:55 am

puglet

How long have you been smoke free OO and how did you do it

5:55 am

o-o

the doc said, asthma, emphysema, oxygen tank. wheel chair, cancer and death ... what do you choose?

5:56 am

ivesy3

thats what mine tells me too:(

5:57 am

puglet

death seems the easiest--but thats not nice to say--but I feel like that at times

5:57 am

ivesy3

i feel like that sometimes too pug

5:59 am

puglet

I am seeing effect on my breathing now and I can just imagine what a doctor would tell me

5:59 am

o-o

I quit in 1998 used nicarets for awhile ... just reminded myself I could leave the cigarettes alone for another five minutes or an hour or two ... even though I had cigarettes ...I finally tossed them and kept on fighting

6:00 am

puglet

you must be a very stronge person OO, inside and out

6:00 am

ivesy3

well i shall go satisy my tim hortons addiction now! bbs..hagd

6:01 am

puglet

thats 15 years! wow!

6:01 am

puglet

bye Ivesy--enjoy

6:03 am

puglet

You must feel like a new man now OO

6:06 am

o-o

I am a person of labels ... the demons are never far away.

6:08 am

puglet

no they are not but you are surely stronger then them for look of the time thats passed

6:11 am

puglet

do you own a dog or a pet OO

6:16 am

rubyfoo

hello again. I've been reading that they really don't yet know the effects of e- cigarettes. I never smoked (cigarettes) because, at the age when most teens start sneaking them, my mother said "If you're going to smoke, do it in front of me". That clinched it and took away all the desire.

6:16 am

rubyfoo

She was very wise

6:17 am

o-o

no pet

6:17 am

puglet

she must of been if you never took it up-lol

6:18 am

rubyfoo

I was very lucky part-wise

6:18 am

rubyfoo

not so great at picking husbands, lol

6:18 am

rubyfoo

parent-wise*

6:19 am

puglet

I think you might be setting yourself a bit short Ruby

6:19 am

Lizlin

6:24 am

rubyfoo

we had our first snow,not a big one, but it's early and cold and nasty

6:24 am

Lizlin

How do the dogs react to the snow?

6:24 am

Lizlin

That'd be Rafie's first snow?

6:25 am

rubyfoo

there wasn't enough for them to play in it, so they are just wet, muddy and stinky

6:25 am

Lizlin

Yuck! And I guess it falls to you to clean them!

6:25 am

rubyfoo

she had some snow when she was tiny, but this will be her first real winter

6:25 am

rubyfoo

she is so dirty that she looks like an orphan

6:26 am

rubyfoo

but still wants to cuddle

6:26 am

rubyfoo

amire

6:26 am

Lizlin

And I bet you want to cuddle her and Rufie too!

6:27 am

rubyfoo

Rufie has a different kind of fur, straighter and without the undercoat, so he dries off more quickly and always looks great

6:27 am

rubyfoo

He is sort of golden and, in the right light, he sparkles

6:28 am

Lizlin

So she's a real tom-boy!

6:28 am

Lizlin

That sounds gorgeous!

6:28 am

rubyfoo

I suppose I shall have to use a jacket.

10:51 am

hurshy

my husband said he thought one of our cats was chilly yesterday

10:51 am

hurshy

now this is something i have thought about already with winter coming on, now that she has developed arthritis. i have wondered if i should do something.

10:51 am

hurshy

we keep the house temp relatively low

10:52 am

hurshy

so i was saying how i wondered if i should leave an electric blanket on for her or something and he was all like, no, she's fine, she's a cat, she has fur, you know they were wild creatures once, right?

10:52 am

hurshy

but i said yes but she is getting old and arthritic and i love her and none of that would probably happen in the wild!

10:53 am

hurshy

anyway i found a heated cat bed to order that just comes on when the cat lies in it, so, that will use less energy, so that is a good solution.

10:54 am

helensgirlkid

Hurshy, there is a special cat warming pad available, it only starts to heat when there is weight on it, and its thermometer is very low, so it can't burn (either the cat or its wrap!)

10:54 am

helensgirlkid

And I see you've already found it! Our cat loved it her last winter.

10:54 am

hurshy

snap helen! :)

11:03 am

Bethjt

hurshy, what kind/brand of warming pad did you get? I need to get one for an aging dachshund.

11:06 am

hurshy

well, it looked like they all had high overall reviews, and the few low star reviews all said similar things in all of them, so i figured, why spend more? so i went with this: http://tinyurl.com/lvyoku5

11:07 am

Bethjt

Thanks. I'll go look.

11:07 am

hurshy

it will say "people who looked at this also looked at" so that's helpful

11:08 am

hurshy

i dunno how much bigger a dachshund might be than a cat though so you might want to go bigger, with a dog one rather than a cat one.

11:10 am

Bethjt

I just found that Petsmart is having a sale. Even cheaper than Amazon. Whoopee

Yes, they had to call in a special crew to do that, Annie.

4:02 pm

crosshair

uh oh.he will not be getting the pilot of the month award

4:02 pm

BzznBea

Probably not, crossy.

4:03 pm

BzznBea

It was the talk of the radio on morning drive time.

4:03 pm

yes,some of those big planes can land on much less runway than needed for takeoff:((

MimiCat

We had excitement here on Sunday. Someone snatched a little girl but she managed to get away and run and now they're looking for the guy. Frightful.

4:04 pm

Wolvie

ugh- i am glad she got away.

4:04 pm

MimiCat

It happened right in the building next to mine.

4:05 pm

MimiCat

I'm not at all surprised it happened. The parents in this apt. complex just do not watch their children...it's very sad and scary.

4:05 pm

BzznBea

Maybe they will start now, Mimi,

4:05 pm

Wolvie

ugh again- i hate things like that

4:05 pm

crosshair

at 790 feet short,i am not sure what they will plan. if it was 50 or 100 feet they puld back the thing up until the tail is touching the terminal then set the engines onto overboost for a bit and give them a good tune up when they get home but 790 feet? no

4:06 pm

crosshair

would*

4:06 pm

MimiCat

Unfortunately, Bea, I doubt it...one of the mothers is too busy buying and taking drugs to notice. I used to watch mine like a hawk---even in their own front yard.

4:07 pm

Soodle

Hello everybody. Mimi, thats absolutely terrifying. Thank goodness no harm was done.

4:07 pm

crosshair

i am glad the girl is safe

4:07 pm

hi soodle

4:08 pm

MimiCat

Soodle, dear, how good to see you!

4:08 pm

Wolvie

oops- but the sentiment is good :D

4:08 pm

MimiCat

Wolvie, just change the vowel and the meaning is SO different!

4:09 pm

Wolvie

yep- but then i would be in the pb twice ;-)

4:09 pm

MimiCat

Well, I only had a minute to spare...gotta finish my day's work. Hugs all around.

4:09 pm

got the 7

4:11 pm

Soodle

About 15 years ago, i was driving home along a twisty country road & lo & behold, there was a small child, no more than 3 yrs old wandering along the centre white line, all alone. I stopped my car & took the kid into the car, knowing that I was exposing myself to all sorts of hideous allegations.

4:11 pm

Wolvie

what happened next soodle?

4:12 pm

Soodle

I drove to the nearest house, where a fantastic party was in full swing. The child's mother was so out if it, she never noticed her little girl was missing.

4:13 pm

Wolvie

o m g

4:13 pm

Soodle

The mother barely acknowledged that I returned the child. I felt dreadful, so I phined the local police.

4:14 pm

BzznBea

Glad you called the police.

4:14 pm

Wolvie

oh good

4:15 pm

Soodle

'Phoned'.... But nothing ever came of it. That kid is probably 17 / 18 now. I often wonder how she is getting on.. C

4:16 pm

Soodle

In this country, you need a licence to own a dog. Not so to be responsible for a child. Sadly shaking head.

4:16 pm

Wolvie

i hear that

4:18 pm

Soodle

Anyway.... I'm not sure if any Babblers on at this time know GrannyRose, from Australia? She lost her dear Mom this morning.

4:19 pm

crosshair

tr5 a gathering of three, usually in a position of power and control

4:19 pm

crosshair

! i know granny rose!. (((grannyrose))) sad news indeed

4:20 pm

Soodle

Quite unexpected, Cross. May she rest in peace.

4:20 pm

crosshair

indeed:((

4:20 pm

Wolvie

oh no- so sorry

4:20 pm

BzznBea

I'm sorry to hear that.

4:23 pm

5:16 pm

laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is used still in some pediatric dentistry to relax kids.... I kinda want to try it

phandmd

how are you, Jilly?

9:58 pm

Jillyjill

Doing well, glad it's Friday tomorrow. How is your job going?

10:00 pm

phandmd

The job is going well. My personal life isn't so great though.

10:01 pm

phandmd

Today, I came home to cat number 2 having an injury and then I found out my daughter was assualted yesterday!

10:03 pm

Jillyjill

Oh dear...so sorry phan...((hugs))

10:04 pm

joso

how is your daughter?

10:04 pm

phandmd

thanks. Could have been much worse, she could have been raped!

10:04 pm

phandmd

She seems ok.

10:04 pm

phandmd

she is trying to decide if she should press charges

10:05 pm

joso

good to hear. The asaulter is known?

10:05 pm

phandmd

Some guy from some gas company, came to her apt. trying to get her to change to that company (if it is even a real business) and while they were talking he kissed her and forced his tongue onto her mouth.

10:06 pm

joso

jees

10:06 pm

CadFan

YES SHE SHOULD PRESS CHARGES

10:06 pm

phandmd

Yes, she had his name as he was wearing a badge.

10:06 pm

Jillyjill

Assault is assault. She needs to press charges!

10:07 pm

joso

charge him, deserves it for being a door to door pest alone

10:07 pm

phandmd

The police found where he lives and based on the driver's license photo she said it was the guy.

10:07 pm

phandmd

I agree she should press charges.

10:08 pm

phandmd

Dad is worried the guy could come back and do worse...

10:09 pm

Jillyjill

That

10:09 pm

Jillyjill

That's what I would worry about!

10:10 pm

joso

even if dismissed or only questioned it may prevent him from gaining the courage to go further next time, or the record may aide prosecuting a future crime

10:10 pm

phandmd

It is a concern, but I still think charges should be pressed.

10:10 pm

phandmd

That's what I think too, Joso and what I advised...

10:12 pm

Jillyjill

I agree with Joso

10:15 pm

Jillyjill

But I have an early day, so must head out. You and your daughter are in my prayers Phandmd!

10:15 pm

phandmd

thanks Jilly

10:15 pm

CadFan

From personal experience, this will haunt her the rest of her life if she doesn't prosecute.

10:16 pm

phandmd

I am sorry, CadFan.

10:16 pm

CadFan

It's okay, but thank you, It was a long time ago.

10:17 pm
